       The  plutil  utility  can  be  used  to edit property lists, to verify the syntax, or to convert from one
       format to another. If ‘-’ is given as the file path, stdin and stdout are used.

       The first part is the action to perform, one of:

       -p      Print the whole plist to stdout, in the human-readable GNUStep format.

       -lint   Verifies the plist can be parsed.

       -convert FMT
               Converts the plist to another format.  ‘FMT’ can be one of:

               xml1    Apple XML.

               binary1
                       Apple binary.

               openstep
                       OpenStep (untyped human-readable).

               gnustep
                       GNUStep (typed human-readable).

               json    JSON (lossy human-readable).
               The NSPropertyListFormat names are accepted too.
